Why did alexander graham bell work with deaf people?
Alexander Graham Bell followed the footsteps of his father, Alexander Melville Bell, as a teacher of the deaf. After graduating at the universities of Edinburgh and London, he spent his early years learning to educate deaf-mutes by using a system developed by his father. In 1872 he founded a school to train teachers of the deaf in Boston, MA. The school eventually became part of Boston University, where Bell was appointed professor of vocal physiology.
